Isabel @Jeff Yablon I agree, completely. Also, those offended can delete the plugin. If it were any other plugin, this should be a non-issue. But I think the issue is not that Hello Dolly is offensive but rather that, since it’s bundled with WordPress, it can be seen as those lyrics are endorsed by WP. As an aside, Hello Dolly inspired me to make a similar plugin but with Pirate’s of the Caribbean movie quotes (nobody uses it, but I made it for fun). I don’t find the Hello Dolly lyrics degrading or offensive. I am a woman but I appreciate music and culture and its history without thinking that it has to bend to my preferences. What a dull world it would be if all music was stripped of its culture.
